Soho and South, Saint, Jerusalem, Social London and Nottingham, The Annexe, Pop, Opium, Grand Central, Punk, Opium Dean Street, Maya, Salvador & Amanda - Covent Garden and Bloomsbury and more
recently Opium Chinatown, 68 and Boston with Over Easy and Burlock that recently opened in September 2016.

Over the years The Breakfast Group has been awarded on multiple occasions - Best Multiple Operator (Flavour Magazine), and Eric Yu, Most Influential Individual (Theme

Atmosphere was superb, service was fast and friendly, and the paella - wow!

OUR LATEST PROJECT - BURLOCK

Opened on Duke Street between Mayfair and Marylebone on Friday 2nd
September 2016, Burlock is a cavernous rum bar with a party atmosphere, celebrating the Caribbean region’s most storied spirit.

The Story behind the name...

Burlockis the name that was
given to the twine and hemp packaging that Rum Runners used during the prohibition era to move their rum. Introduced by celebrated rum runner Bill McCoy (who some say first coined the phrase “The
Real McCoy"), a Burlock is a pack of six bottles jacketed in straw, three on the top, then two, then one, tied together in burlap material, economic of space and easy to handle.
